The conveying method is selected around material behaviour, route, capacity, feeding conditions and cleaning requirements. Conveying, weighing and control are reviewed together.
Enclosed movement of powders and granules between feeding and discharge points.
Mechanical conveying and feeding with a rotating screw inside a trough or tube.
Powder and granule transfer using a controlled air stream under vacuum or pressure.
Controlled addition of bulk ingredients according to the required recipe and weighing duty.
| Material | Particle size, bulk density, moisture, flowability, abrasiveness and acceptable breakage. |
|---|---|
| Throughput | Normal and maximum demand, operating hours, continuous or batch feeding. |
| Route | Total route, elevation, changes of direction, receiving points and maintenance access. |
| Interfaces | Storage outlets, upstream feeding, destination level, discharge valves and control signals. |
| Cleaning | Product changeover, acceptable residue, dry or wet cleaning and material compatibility. |
Send the application, operating conditions, dimensions and available drawings or photographs. State any information that is still unknown so the technical review can address it.
